There are so many ice cream flavors available that sometimes it becomes a bit overwhelming. There's fruit sorbets, candy and cake mix-ins, there is even vegetable ice cream. Sometimes I just want a simple scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Walgreens has its own premium brand of products, including ice cream, called Good & Delish. I've had it before and liked it, but was not super impressed. This time I decided to go for its Udder Vanilla flavor containing Madagascar Vanilla ice cream.

The ice cream itself looks like a pretty traditional vanilla bean ice cream with the tiny bean bits mixed in. It's made with skim milk, cream, sugar, vanilla bean and a few other ingredients I can't pronounce, but it;s still has a lot less ingredients than some of the commercial ice cream products available. After letting it melt a bit, I dug in.

I have to say I was pleasantly surprised with this offering.

The ice cream is dense and creamy and almost had a silky quality to it if you let it melt a bit. The flavor is a very subtle, yet sweet vanilla ice cream.

I can imagine this going perfectly with warm apple pie or even made into a milkshake.

It's not the best vanilla ice cream I've ever had, Bart's still holds that place in my heart, but it's pretty good and definitely worth a try. I give it four scoops.
